As a PHP developer, you sometimes need to share your XAMPP installation to different computers. This might be to show your teammates what you've worked so far or allow them to change a code too. You might also have several computers and you need to access XAMPP from all of them.
To access XAMPP in another computer on your local network, you just have to know the Computer name of the one where you install xampp. For example, the netbook where I installed XAMPP has a computer name lenovo. To access my XAMPP installation from another laptop, I just have to go to http://lenovo or http://lenovo/xampp.
- Copy/upload the entire xampp folder to your USB flash drive (I'm using the 8GB USB2.0 flash drive which is more than adequate to be a local web server). Double-click xampp-control.exe and start both Apache and MySQL. 'Allow access' (for Apache and MySQL) if your firewall pops up any message.
- I already have XAMPP Portable running on a different external hard drive, and I'm currently using it to run a few other wikis, and the year-old backup of my main wiki. If I try installing the old XAMPP containing my dead wiki to my new computer's C: Drive, will that installation conflict with the new XAMPP Portable that's connected from my.
If you can't access the XAMPP homepage from another computer on your local network, you might be running a firewall on the computer you're trying to access it from.
Not using the setup script, or selecting relative paths in the setup script, is preferred if you are installing XAMPP on a usb drive. Because on each pc such a drive can have an other drive letter. You can switch from absolute to relative paths at any time with the setup script. I have Xampp installed on Mac OSX Version 10.9.2 and all works fine with htdocs and my sql. I would like to be able to run Xampp from my computer but access files on external lacie drive with Firewire 800 (not thunderbolt capable).
You have to make sure that httpd and mysqld are allowed through your Windows Firewall. To do this, open Windows Firewall by searching for windows firewall from the Start Menu.
Open Windows Firewall and click on Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall on the left side of the screen. Click the Change Settings button and make sure httpd.exe and mysqld.exe are checked. Try to access http://computer_name and see if you can already access XAMPP.
If you don't know the computer name of the one where XAMPP is installed, just right click on My Computer and choose Properties. It should be there.
